Tomorrow Sept. 3 you would turn 35 yrs. old. Wish I could tell you Happy Birthday in person again. I Love You Forever

He's been gone for awhile now and I still miss him. It's 10 at night but all I can do I sit here crying thinking about him. I hope he is in a good place

The Mendoza Family: I had the pleasure of knowing Mike through our work at Club Colors. In our conversations we discovered our parents went to HS together. We were surprised and laughed about how small this world is. I grew up in Indiana as well. My father is Ronald Milan and grew up with Melody, Judy and Dennis. My father and uncle Rory McDonald shared a story of playing football with Mikes Uncle Dennis with me as well. They had some great stories and very fond memories of your family. Mike and I talked often about this crazy connection and teased that we could have been brother and sister. Please know he was very well liked and will be greatly missed. May he be at peace.

Even I didn't realize how often and how regularly you are in my thoughts Mike. Gone much too soon, you're in my heart. My deepest condolences to Ben and and to all who have loved you.

Mike's family and friends are in my thoughts and prayers.  
With deepest sympathy and my love,
